1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Rho GTPases are believed to make important contributions to the development and progression of human cancer, but direct evidence in the form of somatic mutations analogous to those affecting Ras has been lacking. A recent study in Genes & Development by Xue and colleagues (1439-1444) now provides in vivo evidence that DLC1, a negative regulator of Rho, is a tumor suppressor gene deleted almost as frequently as p53 in common cancers such as breast, colon, and lung.
